Just Do It

[weedlewott]

So I'm back in here. I know I've made a couple posts here and there over the past few months talking about how I was going to be back soon and all this and that. But I would find myself making excuses as to why I couldn't come and go to the gym as I should. I found reasons to not stick to a diet, a routine, cardio, vitamin intake, pretty much everything under the sun. And I've never been on to make excuses for shit. I've got a job. I've got income, a paid membership, transportation, and clothes. Anyone see a reason why I couldn't do what needed to be done? If you do, tell me. If you agree, please tell me. But for now, I'm saying me either. All the bull shit is packed away. I won't say I've got a new drive. The drive has always been there, along with the motivation. So to say that would be a lie. I'm just finished making excuses... First workout. Legs. Routine will be updated later. For now, here it is:

1 Mile Run 7:43

Legs
Squats
135 x 8
225 x 8
275 x 8
315 x 3 Felt really weak, so I racked it. I'll make my way back. Trust me.

Ham Blasters
3 sets of 10

Single Leg Press
2pps x 10 (3 sets)

Calf Presses
Single, 3 sets of 20 w/2pps
Double, 1 set, 30 reps, 3pps

Lying Ham Curls
60 x 10 per leg
120 x 10
130 x 10

Abs
50 weighted Sit Ups

Leg Extensions
150 x 15 x 3

There it is. I need to push myself harder, work harder, and think less. Nike had it right the first time.

Welcome back. There is work to be done.

[Firedrake]

Welcome back, brother! It's great to see you hitting it again! Don't worry so much about the "why" it took you awhile to get things back together to get in the gym. The point is, you're here! You're back to getting The Work done.

For a first session back, that was a helluva leg session! You're going to be feeling that for a day or two. I know you enjoy the pain, so you're going to be in hog heaven! <grin>

Blow it up!

Subbed, of course!

[mritter3]

glad to see your back around here bud...nice start..def. subbed.

[weedlewott]

Welcome back. There is work to be done.

Yes, Sir. There most definitely is. I'm back in the game. Excuses get you nowhere but fat.

Much appreciated, Jim. You know where I stand for the most part. I'm just getting my head right, doing what needs to be done in the gym. I bought a bike so I can't BS my cardio at the gym. Just ride it there and back and still hit some up there. I've got everything I need. To include a newly straightened head on my shoulders.

glad to see your back around here bud...nice start..def. subbed.

It's good to be back. Thanks, man.

Much appreciate it, Steve. I just feel like a quitter. First time in my life I've ever let an excuse get the best of me. First and last... Just saying.

Today felt really good. Hit up 10 minutes of good, high speed, incline cardio before the workout itself. The weights are going to get better. That much I promise you. I'm not really cutting, but cutting if that makes any sense. Not show ready, just to where I can see some abs and then start building slowly back up to my weight now, with much less BF. That's all for now. I'll be back to check on everyone in a bit. Be easy.

[DANO]

Nice job WW. weights will come back around, and sooner than you think!

[Steve48]

In my book it's only quitting if you stay down for good!

[wedge]

Same focus and intensity on the weights that I remember. Keep it up.

I surely hope so, DANO. That I do..

In my book it's only quitting if you stay down for good!

Nah. Couldn't ever stay down for good. Not this kid.

Same focus and intensity on the weights that I remember. Keep it up.

Thanks, man. I've got a brotherhood to live up to. Statements are going to be made.

Thank you much, NW. The 315 was a healthy reminder. I need to get back to 405-455 range for reps. And I plan on it. Gotta climb that mountain one step at a time.

nice work again, looking forward to seeing the numbers climb!

If you stick around, you'll undoubtedly see it happen.

20 of these.... I don't know if this has a name, but I am on the Decline bench, and do a sit up. But when I get up, I use my abs to completely hold myself up off the bench and do a crunch. The only part that is touching the bench is my legs holding me in place. You guys should try it. I may have to take a video and post it up so you get it. It works. Trust me.

10 minutes cardio. I was done. True story. That's all she wrote. I feel really good after this. I mean, I felt good before, during, and after. There is a light. I missed it. Entirely too much.
